About the Opportunity

I'm partnering with a leading financial services organization to hire a Vice President, Transformation & Change Audit to join its Internal Audit function.

This is an opportunity for someone who understands how complex technology transformations are actually delivered, not just how they're audited.

The team is looking for a professional who can combine technology delivery experience, project/program management knowledge, and a strong understanding of risk and controls to assess major transformation initiatives across the business.

You'll join a small, highly visible team with direct exposure to senior technology and business leadership.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead end-to-end audits of complex technology transformation, change management, and strategic programs.
• Evaluate project governance, delivery risks, internal controls, and technology implementation practices.
• Assess technology delivery lifecycles, including SDLC, system implementations, testing, and change management.
• Partner with Technology Audit, Business Audit, and Project Management teams on integrated audits.
• Identify meaningful risks and provide practical, actionable recommendations based on how technology projects operate.
• Review audit findings, validate remediation activities, and monitor emerging risks across major initiatives.
• Work directly with senior stakeholders across Technology, Risk, and Business functions.
• Mentor junior auditors while remaining hands-on with audit execution.

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience in technology transformation, change management, project/program delivery, or technology-focused internal audit.
• Hands-on understanding of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and how large-scale technology initiatives are delivered.
• Experience evaluating technology risks, controls, project governance, and implementation processes.
• Ability to independently execute complex audits or assessments from planning through completion.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, including experience engaging senior leadership.
• Experience within financial services, banking, technology, or consulting environments.
• Bachelor's degree required.

Highly Desirable:

• Experience across both technology delivery (first line of defense) and Internal Audit or Risk (second/third line).
• Background in a PMO, technology transformation, or enterprise change function.
• Big Four consulting experience involving technology transformation or change audits.
• Certifications such as PMP, PgMP, CISA, CIA, or CISM.
• Experience with integrated audits, technology architecture, SDLC controls, and data analytics.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• High Visibility: Work directly with senior technology and business leadership on critical transformation initiatives.
• Meaningful Ownership: Lead complex audits while helping shape how technology transformation risk is assessed.
• Hybrid Flexibility: Two days onsite per week in NJ
• Competitive Package: $175K–$200K base salary, plus variable compensation, 401(k) matching, and comprehensive benefits.
